[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To his 3 year old brother today, while I was dragging them to several doc appts where they were behaving horribly. I almost started sobbing. The truth is, yes I am fat, up 30 lbs until recently from second pregnancy, have lost 15 lbs in last two months so I am trying.

What is the right response to this? I ignored it. I know we all feel this way but get can I get a break? I am killing myself to do everything I can for kids while still working, commuting downtown, while DH works from.home (and yes cooks way more meals than me, does laundry too). My job feels my performance has gone from being fantastic to satisfactory, our house is always a mess, my brother is having a mental health crisis halfway across country in California..... and my kid tells me I'm fat. AWESOME.

He hit you dead between the eyes, huh?  Just let him know that it isn't ok to comment on anyone's body, including yours.[/quote]

PS - I'm still trying to lose (riiiiight) that baby weight weight and MY youngest son will be 8.  You have lost 15 lbs - keep going![/quote]
